There should be a "no star" category for this inexcusable treatment of entropy.The section on entropy is the most incredible mess of garbage, misinformation, and error that I have ever seen in 70 years! I can't imagine that such antique/obsolete/unscientific trash would be used in the US -- or cited in Merlot.The ONLY modern treatment of entropy is that which is written by Stephen Lower -- and cited here.Technical Remarks:NO chemistry text in the US has ANY such trash -- "entropy as a quantity of heat״!!״entropy flows....״!!!״Entropy is measured in Ct, Carnots״!!!!

This is one of the best approaches to introductory thermodynamics I've seen. The picturesque view of energy and entropy, and the analogical treatment of intensive quantities (temperature, pressure, velocity, electric potential, chemical potential) driving extensive flows (entropy, volume, momentum, charge, amount of substance) sets up a model that is very useful for beginners. Highly recommended.
